sammiibubble Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi Lotti, I am hoping you still use this forum as I have a 5 year old with KTS and would like to chat with you. Both myself and my daughter are blue badge holders as are unable to walk very far. I think that the free parking is allowed because it's not like we are able to spend hours walking round the shops.

I seriously doubt the blue badge scheme was introduced to help you with your shopping. It would make no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I seriously doubt the blue badge scheme was introduced to help you with your shopping. It would make no sense. Blue badges (or orange, as they were) were introduced to help people with disabilities get closer to living a normal life which does include shopping, as well as all other aspects of life. What other reasons can you think of that they would exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 .... and its not fair ..... that's right it's not fair that some people are disabled. Whatever they get, I don't ever want to swap my physical abilities for more money Loss of mobility with age is one of the fears I have of getting older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 that's right it's not fair that some people are disabled. Whatever they get, I don't ever want to swap my physical abilities for more money Loss of mobility with age is one of the fears I have of getting older I certainly would swap the loss of use of my right arm (and I'm right handed), degenerative back problems meaning that I can't even sit upright for more than a short time without my feet going dead, chronic sciatica, a knee that is too damaged for even a knee replacement to make it better and chronic pain for over 20 years with anybody who also wanted my blue badge. I'd jump (that is, if I could actually jump, which I can't) at that deal, as long as I got to use my qualifications to earn a decent income, spend at least some of my day doing something without pain and think without the treacle in my brain from the painkillers. Fabulous deal- any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Blue Badge holders only get free parking in some places, often they still have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmen. Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If I may say. As far as I believe, the blue badge is supplied for the disadvantaged to park nearer where they need to be. ---------- Post added 02-07-2014 at 14:50 ---------- I hate the word ''Disabled''. Everyone is able to do something. ---------- Post added 02-07-2014 at 14:52 ---------- Even if it's only to smile and be pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
